Re: The energy crisis

Access to the local distribution network has different costs in different parts of the country, reflecting the different costs of running it. The Scottish Highlands LDN (owned by SSE) is particularly expensive, being very rural and exposed and serving relatively few customers. IIRC Merseyside and North Wales (MANWEB back in pre-privatisation days) is also relatively expensive because it has a double whammy of exposed rural lines in north Wales and an unusually complex urban system in Liverpool.
